A subscriber asks art teacher Dianne Mize what she means by "foliage strokes" when painting.

You're the best instructor around. Please own how many people you truly help. No one can watch your videos without learning a ton. Thank YOU!!!

1 min into the video and i already love the education being given here. No other instructor I've come across has stressed the importance of self-expression in the way we use our tools, as you have. What you said touched ny heart as someone who considers themselves a "copy artist" fundamentally because of this reason. Thank you. I wished I had focused on this aspect more, sooner into my journey.

I love that you first tell us to make our marks. Learn to make marks our way to be an individual. I think your teachings are great 😊

[WonderTracks]

Without contest the best painting instructor of all the YouTube vids I've seen! Down to earth and says the fundamental stuff, damn I wish more YouTubers were like you.

Love it when a teacher is serious about having fun. Appreciate your stressing that each of us not only can create a unique expression we must do so. Thank you again for a great video.

What u say makes much sense—seeing for ourselves what our different brushes can do by playing with them, then we come up with our own interpretation—this is brilliant—thank you so very much and ty for doing the various brush strokes slowly!

Thank you! I've been pondering ginko tree leaves for a painting and the last comma strokes, done both left and right, look to be perfect for their fan shaped leaves. I just purchased some filbert brushes in hopes they would be good for it. This video gives me confidence.
